No notifications when more then one email arrives at a time

[awlx]

Hi,

today I noticed that I get no new email notifications when more then one mail is received at a time. Only the phone vibrates and says "2 new messages" but pebble does nothing.

Cheers.

noticed that too today. i'm looking in to it.

I guess this is due to how lipstick handles notifications of emails (or rather Jolla notification model) as it updates the same notification for email if there is one unread.

[awlx]

But it even occurs when it receives two emails at a time. And not only when there is already one notification. I expected to get at least the first notification when two mails arrive at a time.

Ok i think i found the problem.

Email notifications gets only sent if both "data" and "subject" is present in the dbus message.
With the combining feature of the notifications in sailfish only on of the fields are filled "2 new emails" (author is empty). so the code does not display the message.

I will fix that, tonight.

Also its planned but i did not do the research for it, to automatically mark the notification read on the phone if successfully sent to the pebble (clear the specific notifications)

That sounds great :). And cool that you found the issue. 👍

[smurfy]

Problem is, that as before, you only get the notification "2 new emails" no details about the email.
I hope the autoclear option will help with that once implemented.

[awlx]

But it's better to get only "2 new emails" instead of nothing :).

org.freedesktop.Notifications /org/freedesktop/Notifications org.freedesktop.Notifications.CloseNotification(uid)

should close the notification when triggered I am going to test it.

[smurfy]

If you implement it, please make sure its an optional feature.

[awlx]

Ok, it does not make much sense to just dismiss the notifications after being sent to pebble because the email client still does only send "1 new email" if it has an unread mail. Maybe there is a way to reset this count but I don't think this is a good idea.

emphasis :-)

Also, we may revisit the idea to treat notifications as a trigger only, not as a data-source and use dedicated interfaces for messages and emails to pull data from.

[awlx]

Sounds better because at the moment the notifications interface is not that reliable.

Sure but I do not find a way to mark the mail read and not only to dismiss the notification after sending it to pebble.

hmpf. latest log4qt changes and i can't compile it anymore? how to install log4qt to the mer build vm?

[smokku]

log4qt is available at chum: http://repo.merproject.org/obs/sailfishos:/chum:/1.0.8.19:/testing/1.0.8.19_armv7hl/

[smurfy]

I guess i'm to stupid for it :)

I added the chum repo in my mer build vm but i cant install log4qt (it does not find it) also i can't install the rpms manually.

i guess thats because they are for armv7h1 instead of i486 (of which the system in the vm runs).

Can you please describe how to install log4qt in the build vm? (the target)

smoku@wing:~$ ssh -p 2222 -i ~/SailfishSDK/vmshare/ssh/private_keys/engine/mersdk mersdk@localhost
[mersdk@SailfishSDK ~]$ sb2 -t SailfishOS-armv7hl -m sdk-install -R zypper ar http://repo.merproject.org/obs/sailfishos:/chum:/1.0.8.19:/testing/1.0.8.19_armv7hl/sailfishos:chum:1.0.8.19:testing.repo

Then set gpgcheck=0 in /etc/zypp/repos.d/sailfishos:chum:1.0.8.19:testing.repo, go to Qt Creator, Sailfish tab, refresh SailfishOS-armv7hl packages and install log4qt-devel.

[smurfy]

thanks, there was no /etc/zypp... file but providing the -G param

sb2 -t SailfishOS-armv7hl -m sdk-install -R zypper ar -G http://repo.merproject.org/obs/sailfishos:/chum:/1.0.8.19:/testing/1.0.8.19_armv7hl/sailfishos:chum:1.0.8.19:testing.repo

worked too.

Also it still did not compile because it seams there is another dependency on "libicu-devel" too.

I will test my fix over the next 16 hours or so and do a pull request tomorrow.

[smokku]

ICU is provided by default in standard repos.

Has this issue been really resolved (bug closed)? I'm still receiving 'x new mails' notifications on my Pebble unless I clear them from Jolla's notification view. I have pebble-0.15-1.armv7hl. Or did the latest Jolla firmware update break this..

[smokku]

@eras This issue is about not getting notifications about new mail at all on the watch, not about the content.
If you want to talk about getting the content of new messages instead of "2 new messages", you can open another issue, as it is not as straightforward as it seems and may need additional discussion.
